Twinkies Gone For Good !!

Hostess Twinkies-Gone for Good

Goodbye Hostess Twinkies...

The all time king of the junk-food industry filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Perhaps there is such a thing as Karma.

Some blame the Atkins diet and the current trend in low-carbohydrate eating for the move, but some savvy analyst cite Interstates failure to innovate since their 1950s heyday as the root cause that has spelled doom for the company. But is there really anyway to innovate refined flour and sugar?

Here are some of the ingredients in "Twinkies"-

Enriched wheat flour (flour that's been bleached, starched and de-nutritionized)
Sugar (self-explanatory)
Corn syrup (more sugar)
High-fructose corn syrup (and still more sugar)
Dextrose (even more sugar)
Partially hydrogenated soybean, cottonseed, or canola oil (trans-fats)
Modified cornstarch (glucose polymers — more simple sugars)
Cornstarch (surprise…more sugar!)
Corn flour (refined & worthless, of course)
Corn syrup solids (you bet… another type of sugar)
Dextrin (a starch/sugar hybrid)

Count them…that's 8 different kinds of sugar, three kinds of starch, add in a splotch of killer trans-fats. Yep…great stuff for all of our kids that re-overweight! The other 17 ingredients are largely preservatives and colorings.

Tim,
IMPOSSIBLE!! Next it will be LITTLE DEBBIE! We have to make a stand and support these people.. I didn't realize my actions would have such a negative impact on these companies... My gosh! What is this world coming to when you can't enjoy that yellow spongy goodness that comes ONLY from Twinkies!!

Come on, Tim, you don't expect me to believe this comment, do you? I KNOW you aren't human and you just said it to make me feel better.. ;D You haven't actually let a Little Debbie touch your lips before, have you?

Twinkies make a good post workout carb source.

I am going buy hundreds of them and store them. They should last up to at least 1000 years. I dont think that they go bad.

I remember we used to say that guys that were all juiced up were as natural as a Twinkie....

Haha… guys, you look devastated ;D dont worry you'll find other product(s?) with sugar ;D

PS: But DONT TOUCH Little Debbie
